So I am running into the problem that my phone wont boot up if I turn my phone off, or it dies.
The only way around to getting it back on is getting CWM up and doing a "cache wipe".
The symptoms I am having when I try to turn it on is I do not get past the LG logo. The soft keys are lit and the screen back light comes on and off (black screen) with a 2-3 second intervals forever (have not went past 10min).
I am running xboards tweaked 2.3.3 with fauxes stock volt kernel, any more into?
Thanks guys.
No one? Really?..
Sounds like an errant app is causing you problems. Once you boot start uninstalling apps one at a time that you think are the culprit and try rebooting. Do this until your phone can boot again and then you'll have a good idea of the problem app.

The only thing I can think of is maybe an issue with the custom kernel. Do you remember having the issue before you flashed Faux's kernel?

I installed fauxes OC (over clock), and its working fine now, I was having problems with SV (stock voltage), maybe that was the culprate?
P.S. After restarting my phone (I have been doing it every so often to test for stability) my home screen got reset to factory? I had all my apps and everything, it was just factory..??? Only happened once tho.

I have seen a few threads posted about random reboots and v3.1. However, my wife's Transformer will go into a cycle where it will reboot, then a minute later or less will reboot again, and keep this up for a while (not sure how long exactly).
Don't know if this is related to an incompatible app/setting or something with the OS (3.1). Is there anything I can check/do to try and prevent this?
**Edit......Forgot to mention device is unrooted running stock 3.1.
I'm facing the Sleep of Death on this TF. It was there even on Stock and is there on other ROM's also. My Transformer reboots when in sleep mode

Mine was rebooting like every 10 minutes, running 3.0.1 stock non-rooted. All I did was reset it to factory settings and the problem went away.

Why are you running 3.0.1? Upgrade to Android 3.1. It's more stable and reliable.

If I set it to factory is it going to take it back to 3.0? Or just change all the settings back?
factory reset won't rollback the firmware, it just clear all installed apps, caches and set everything to default
Is anyone else experienceing this problem and is there a solution to fix this?

Factory Reset, you messed something up in your rom most likely. If you are s-off'd I would recommend flashing another rom, or reflashing a the same rom.
Which ROM are you running?

im using ARHD, but im used many other rom and the samething keeps happening, i even got another sensation and its the samething
I too have run across this issue. I found if I use more than one Widget it happens. This is happening on the past two roms I have used.
COMPLETELY wipe your phone, flash a stable ROM you know that works, and then make a nandroid backup so this doesn't happen again. Normally I would suspect a faulty kernel, but if it's happening on every ROM idk what to say.

I am going to flash another rom , for testing purpose...while looking into it I fund this comment.....
Set CPU clock back to 1.2 GHz.... fi you don't want your CPU to be overclocked or you had boot-loop or random reboots ---
Not sure if this is the answer, but I'll try it, if it continues , and will report back
I've been running into this same issue, but it only happens in the middle of the night. The phone wakes me up with its little vibrate when rebooting over and over. The only way I can stop the rebooting is to unplug and plug the charging cable back in. Plus the phone gets really hot until I unplug it. Running the latest NRG rom with stock kernel.
This happens to me whenever I play music, and alternate between texting and surfing the web...stock rom...

Thanks will try that
I'm having the same problem now. Phone was fine then started rebooting. wiped and restored from backup of when it was fine and still reboots.
i have the same problem i installed the bad recovery awhile back when it forst came out now on the good one but i think it messed up the phone cause i have random reboots like crazy i have s-off and everything just since that day it started but the phone works perfect on the charger i got a s2 since then but would like to revive my old phone if possible
I have the latest stock JB installed from the google factory images with simple root v1.0 and clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.0, and my phone completely freezes from time to time. If I push the power button the screen goes off, but if I push it again, only the buttons light up, so I have to pull out my battery to reset it. It happens more and more and it get's really annoying. I just had a full wipe a couple days ago, and it did the same thing before, but I didn't had any problems like this with ics. Anyone else having similar problems or is my phone getting crazy? Any advice?
It's called sleep of death. Try to flash another kernel see if that works.

What? He has stock JB, with the stock kernel. There's hardly anything more stable than that....
The graphics driver had been throwing bugs, but the new r6 release had an update so possibly fixed bug. May be the cause of the OP issue

Haven't had my phone running stock so I cannot tell whether it is very stable. But the problem he described indicates this particular issue. And now bedalus confirms.

Ok so it is like this:
I bought my galaxy r here in sweden 1 year and 3 months ago, it was working perfectly for around 1 year.
At the one year mark i started to have some problems with the touchscreen where the phone would feel a pressure in the middle of the screen, to get rid of this i simply locked and unlocked the phone or rubbed a bit with a cloth on the screen.
Recently when I saw there was a cm10.1 rom with nightlies I rooted my phone and later installed the cm10.1 rom. Now the most anoying thing. I have a problem with my battery where the phone just shuts down randomly (mostly when playing games) even though it sometimes have up too 80% battery remaining. Then when I restart the phone it usually have 0% battery left and therefore shuts itself down again, sometimes it restarts with just a 20-30% batteryloss. This have occured more often recently and it shuts itself of 3-4 times a day. I can't remember if it was like this when i was on stock, before I started to flash and root, but i think it was.
A few days ago i flashed stock ics from odin and I confirmed that both of these problems still were there, so i have hard to belive that it is the modding of the software that have caused this.
Do you guys have any suggestions to how i can be able to use my phone normally again?
Im just a poor student so i don't want to waste money on a new phone after just 1 year :/

It may be help you but first tell me, are you restoring data from titanium backup or something related to that..??
Also if you want to take backup then take it using Super backup application.

Nope, im not takeing backup of anything.
And one other thing i forgot to mention earlier, the phone now also thinks it is charging itself evrn when it is not. It think the usb cable is still connected.
I hope OP doesn't mind that I'm joining his thread, I'm experiencing the same problems on my gfs phone and don't know what to do.
I just installed the fresh CM 10.1 nightlies (did Cache/Data/Dalvik Wipe) and she is experiencing pretty much the same problems:
After 1 or 2 hours of unplugging the phone gets stuck and shuts down. After restarting the battery percentage is pretty low and the phone shuts down again (even if the battery says ~10%). The battery percentage then changes every restart, but is always between 0 and 20%. The phone is barely usable in this state :/
I couldn't wipe the SD card (.android_secure) because the swapped paths, could this be related?
Thank you in advance!

It shouldn't be happened. But if u are feeling so, just flash any stock GB using odin v1.87. Then just wipe all data and cache. Install cm10.1 over that using method 2.

I'm definitely going to try this, but as it seems now i think it is more about a faulty battery/hardware that software?
Or have these kind of problems been fixed software before?
One other thing, if i have rooted my device, does the root dissappear when i flash stockrom using odin?

May be hardware or software too..when you will vanish all data & cache then Software issue may be gone but if problem still persist, means you have hardware problem.
Also, root will be lost after flashing Stock ROM from ODIN.
I'm able to also confirm, that Procedure II didn't help the problem. I really doubt it is a hardware fault, because of us two having the exact same problem after flashing the same rom.
@Dippn: Do you know which nightly build you used? In my case it was the nightly build "20130405". Also could you check which baseband you are on? (Under About Phone -> Baseband Version) Over here we have i9103NEKI1
The only special thing we did I can think of is flashing a modem file (when we were still on the unofficial cm10.1 without these kind of problems, but massive battery drain), because there was a call problem going on for customers of the austrian provider 3 and CM10.1.
I could analyse the problem a bit more today: It seems as soon as the phone gets busy (for example from the browser loading pages or in DippN's case processing a game), the touch screen gets unresponsive and everything starts to lag and delay or freezes completely until it shuts down the phone. Could be either CPU or RAM related, I guess. I just wonder what caused this, even if the nightly had a faulty kernel, this should be fixed as soon as we flash another ROM, right?
I will be able to try a different ROM on monday. It would be great, if you could report, if the downgrade to GB helped the issue. I'd like to try a different baseband, if you are on the same right now too.
Greetings and thank you so much for trying to help us, vikesh!

Well, we are not on the same baseband. I'm on I9103XXLQ3.
About the cm verison im not quiet sure, the latest i flashed was "20130406" but since the problem were there the time before that when i flashed cm I cant answer exacly but i have a cm version "20130305" on my desktop and it could be that one that I used.
I never used cm before it was on nightlies so the modem file flashing i dont know anything about.
The thing you mention about that it shuts of when the phone gets busy and touchscreen gets unresponsive I can kind of confirm too.
I will flash GB now, will report back in an hour how it went.

Flashed GB using v1.85 and now I am stuck in bootloop, after 10 sec at the samsung logo it restarts and repeat. >.>
When the phone restarted after the flash and after it says "-updating application" it says:
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/NEE/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I have no idea what this means but could it mean anything?
EDIT: I got it to start by wipe cache and data. (thought i should do that when cwm was installed)
Unfortunately already in the startup options when u write wifi password the touchscreen became very unresponsive and when i after a few min had succeded writing the password the phone shut of when it tried to connect to it! :,(
I can also confirm that it still thinks it is charing when it is not becuase the symbol in the statusbar flicked from battery to charging symbol.
Is there anything else softwarerelated that I can do?

I have a HUGE problem. Everytime i lock my phone or it locks itself, it turns off or reboots.
Anyone else heard of this before?
I've wiped, hard reset, everything Googling has suggested to no avail.

As far as I can tell it is not. It happens on fresh installs as well as backups :/
I think I finally got rid of the problem by restoring from an old backup through Switch.
Been 30 mins and no reboot yet.
Will come back after work with results from the day.
Update: back to rebooting.
Doesn't happen when an app is playing music/radio (Spotify etc)
Is there any way to get back to 100% stock?
Had to use twr to get out of bootlooping.
Or a link to get a working custom rom.
